[Asia Economy Reporter Kwon Hyun-ji] Kim Tae-heum, Governor of Chungnam Province and a three-term National Assembly member, criticized Kwon Seong-dong, the acting leader and floor leader of the People Power Party, over internal party turmoil and urged a transition to an emergency response committee system.

On the 31st, Governor Kim posted on Facebook, stating, “Acting Leader Kwon has only revealed his personal interests and incompetence, failing to properly propose any new vision for negotiations with the opposition or the party’s future direction, exposing his leadership shortcomings,” and added, “He should immediately step down from all positions and transition the party to an emergency response committee system.” This publicly highlighted the responsibility of Acting Leader Kwon for the party’s internal strife caused by a series of mistakes.

He also indirectly pressured the party leadership to resign for the transition to an emergency response committee, saying, “The Supreme Council members are no exception to responsibility. What are they hesitating about?” He emphasized, “For the People Power Party to regain the trust and support of the people as the ruling party, the party must reorganize its leadership and undergo a complete transformation with the determination of reestablishing itself.”

He expressed concern about the party, stating, “There is no sign of shared responsibility, only selfish power struggles and incompetence. Although the president’s approval rating has fallen to the 20% range, the acting party leader continues to make futile moves, and no lawmakers have properly stepped up to manage the party’s situation. This is the current state of the People Power Party.”

He continued, “Time does not wait. Those responsible must take responsibility immediately and make a decisive effort with new personnel and determination to restore the lost trust and support of the people.”
